Chapter 602

602 Vacation

“Ummh you smell so nice, just go back to sleep, brother Xiang Xiang will warm you up tonight. Do you finally have your very longing nice bath this afternoon? Too bad I can’t join you, how about tomorrow morning?” he whispered as he occasionally chewed on Bai Ying’s ear.

Bai Ying who was too sleepy and half awake just nodded at the Crown Prince.

“Emh”

“General Yan said, out of Bu Mo’s town there is a small village whose population is very sparse, the place is very beautiful and quite remote, he said there is a waterfall with very clear and fresh water with the various kind of flowers and cool air unlike the most city ??in Dai Yang. What if we go there and have our vacation all day long? And General Yan also said there’s very good dining there, we’ll spend the whole day there before heading back to the stopover town Land of Wind.”

Bai Ying finally turned his body, raising his two arms around the Crown Prince’s waist and hugging him.

“Em, yes Your Majesty, that sound fun, Ying can’t wait”

Luo Xiang smiled. He stroked Bai Ying’s front hair and kissed his forehead.

“Chup”

Hugged him so tightly.

.....

“Hey let’s sleep hugging each other, we haven’t done it in a long time”

Excited by Bai Ying, Luo Xiang couldn’t stop hugging him tighter, really didn’t want to let him go and just hug him while sleeping.

“Erm, this is very comfortable”

The atmosphere of the room is very calm. There was hardly any sound other than the faint howl of the nocturnal animals and the wind that blew in the distance. In the middle of the room on a round table not far from the bed was a pile of snacks that Bai Ying had won this afternoon. The sly boy acted as if he was going to lose with his face until he showed his last card which was bigger than Chen Ming’s, as a result, he won all the snacks. Although he couldn’t finish it all because he was too tired. He just boasted when he said he would finish it all in one night.

...

Out of the big city of Bu Mo.

General Yan escorted the group out of town to the small village of Purple Water, located some distance outside Bu Mo on a straight path before turning into the desert towards the stopover town Land Wind. A small village that is impossible to find by anyone who passes by if not intentionally looking for it. The narrow stone small path which almost impassable for Bai Ying’s golden carriage.

Er Wang was seen darting towards the lush hills that were hidden from the outside, really not a place that newcomers would normally visit due to its being so secluded. From the main road in front of them, there’s a sound of falling water roaring like the waterfall, and it is. The waterfall is one of the main reasons people come to the small village, is located at the very front where visitors can come and go without even disturbing the residents.

Bai Ying parted the carriage window curtain. They had stopped, which meant they had arrived at their destination. The young man widened his eyes and mouth gaping wide not believing what he saw there.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful, brother, let’s go down” Bai Ying shouted pulling Chen Ming’s hand who was just getting ready to go down.

“Eits this kid”

The park which is located at the end of the path leading to the waterfall is very beautiful, a variety of plants with any colours and shapes grow lush and dense. Tall trees with colourful leaves. It’s strange because usually in areas with low rainfall in Dai Yang the leaf colour will only be brighter and one or two colours, but the trees that grow around the valley have leaves with a variety of colours ranging from yellow, red, green, and silver, to orange, very unique.

“Oh, Your Majesty, this is so beautiful, where is the waterfall?” Bai Ying exclaimed impatiently heading towards the cliff where he could hear the sound of water. And sure enough, Er Wang had soaked in the waterfall pool which was wide enough for his large body and still left room for the others. Without waiting for the Crown Prince to approach him, he hurried down the steps to go down there. He didn’t even bother waiting for Chen Ming who wasn’t as excited as he was.

“Wow, this is great, old man, don’t pollute the water, it’s become muddy because of you!” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Luo Xiang pursed his lips, the boy really didn’t realize that he was a Viceroy, especially a Realm King who had to maintain his prestige, he acted like a young man his age again.

“That kid.” Luo Xiang handed the reins of his horse to the little soldier who accompanied their journey at that time. After General Bu and the others had made their first move towards Yue Yang, the Crown Prince’s entourage was now only accompanied by a few small soldiers to serve during the journey.

Bei Yau approached Chen Ming and was about to help him down the stairs, but Xiao Hong preceded him.

“Prince, do you want to come down?” asked Xiao Hong who was already beside Chen Ming about to take his hand. Bei Yau was two steps late.

Chen Ming folded his arms in front of his chest, looking at Bai Ying who had already dashed downstairs at lightning speed. He accepted Xiao Hong’s outstretched hand, slowly pulling him towards the stairs.

“That kid, has he never seen a waterfall before? So excited.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Bei Yau pursed his lips, Chen Ming didn’t give him a chance, but, he couldn’t just give up. Bei Yau retreated as Luo Xiang approached. The young Crown Prince folded his arms behind his waist and descended the steps gracefully, as he always did.

“Bei, order the others to have a rest, we will be here all day, and prepare Ying’s spare clothes, he will need it”

Bei Yau nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

........

After taking off his outer clothes, Bai Ying plunged into the not-so-deep water, only submerging it up to his chest. He splashed the water towards Er Wang who without caring about anything sitting in the middle of the pool making it impossible for others to enter, even though he was invisible in the other’s eyes, more than half of the pool seemed to form a hollow circle where Er Wang was curled up in it.

“Old man, please move a bit, you take all the water for yourself, let’s slide a little”

Er Wang just moved his tail.

“Oh, My King of Realm, this is very comfortable, like the pool that used to be where I soaked in the forest, it’s really fun”

“Yeah but you take all the area for yourself, just slide a bit, hurry”

Chen Ming and Xiao Hong arrived at the edge of the pool, the sound of the roar of water falling from above the cliffs made the atmosphere very noisy there, they had to speak quite loudly.

“Brother, look, you got your clothes all wet” Chen Ming exclaimed.

Bai Ying couldn’t contain his excitement, he had a chance to throw water at Chen Ming which almost hit him if not for Xiao Hong who raised his hand letting his sleeves become a shield for Chen Ming.

“Xiao Hong, do you always have to protect Brother like that, come on down here, you guys, the water is very fresh, you will regret it if you miss it” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Xiao Hong lowered his sleeves. He stuttered because his habit of protecting Chen Ming made his body move before his brain.

“Eh, pardon me, Your Majesty”

Chen Ming pulled his lips, lowered Xiao Hong’s hand and shifted it.

“Xiao Hong, why do you have to apologize to him? it’s good that you protected me otherwise I would be very mad if the water hit me...” but before Chen Ming even finished his words, cold water was already splashing on his face. Bai Ying’s loud laughter was heard which managed to splash his brother’s face and make him all wet.

“Hahaha, brother, pardon me for that, oh how is this, you can catch a cold if you stay there longer and just stand there, come here, Brother, after all, you’re already wet, right?” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Chen Ming refrained from getting angry. He looked at Bai Ying with his big eyes.

“This brat” Chen Ming finally took off his outer garment, in a hurry to grab it and throw it at Xiao Hong and head into the pool to join Bai Ying.

“Watch out, this brat.”

Xiao Hong stuttered. He put Chen Ming’s clothes on a large rock by the water, then took off his clothes too.

“Prince, I’m coming, it looks so refreshing.”

Bai Ying’s laughter and Chen Ming’s exasperated screams reached the Crown Prince’s ears who had just arrived there, after really taking his time in descending the stairs.

Luo Xiang shook his head.

“That kid, he looks like having a lot of fun.”

Bai Ying climbed Er Wang’s massive body so that he could feel the water falling from the top of the hill.

“Old man, don’t move, I could fall.”

Chen Ming followed him.

“Old man, do you know that your body is huge, you are not the only one who wants to enjoy the waterfall, but us too, let’s move quickly”
